[MENTION=3503197]Yaz75[/MENTION] is correct. Also your Internal SD will be wiped (pictures, Music)
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Not at all. I did that exact thing yesterday and it wiped out nothing. If you flash the factory image then yes, it wipes it all. But the OTA on a stock unit will preserve your data and personal files.
[Nexus 5 General] greeneyez15o:
Im stock 4.4.4. Rooted can i twrp flash the ota + permissive boot + latest su ? To b rooted n updated ?
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Simple answer: no you can not.
[Nexus 5 General] greeneyez15o:
Thanku cause im not near a computer.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
You're welcome. And when you do get near a computer, you won't be able to flash it either until you revert your recovery and root. Just an FYI.
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Root doesn't matter I don't believe. Just reverting to stock recovery. I could be wrong though since I didn't use the OTA myself.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
If you haven't had the chance yet, you might skim this article.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...e-means-update-will-fail-system-modified-way/

It's pretty clear that any modification will abort the process. I could be wrong, there are way smarter people than me in this world!
[Nexus 5 General] crazycaveman:
I'm thinking I should modify my zips for fixing the system partition to also include flashing stock recovery (or at least warning about it). Would this help enough people to make it worthwhile?
[Nexus 5 General] Wifiguy:
I flashed the system, boot, recovery, and cache images from 4.4.4

My devices does not show up in adb while waiting for a sideload

It appears on fastboot and in adb while booted up normally.
[Nexus 5 General] tmeader:
As is mentioned (and confirmed... wish they'd update the article) in the comments of that post, this only applies once you have Lollipop installed. So, for all future OTA updates of 5.0 (5.0.1, 5.0.2, etc. The article is based on the OTA that was released for the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9... existing 5.0 bases), this will be the case. The OTA from 4.4.4 to 5.0 on the Nexus 5 does not have this behavior. I adb sideloaded the OTA last night with Busybox and SuperSU installed with no problem.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Ah, gotcha.

I stand corrected.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
It wasn't the download. I re-read downloaded it and the download worked after flashing most of the 4.4.4 factory image. I did get a bad /tmp/update. So it could have been that after about 6 tries with different usb ports and cords it finally worked.
[Nexus 5 General] Dzontra.nikola:

Also, before I forget, doing factory image. Will I lose root and unlocked bootloader?
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Yes you will. It will be stock everything.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Just a certification, you will not lose the unlocked bootloader
[Nexus 5 General] :
Yes, good point. Wiping data should never be necessary. Recovery and system. (been awhile... Is recovery flashed with system... I thought not)

?
[Nexus 5 General] Blocoholi:
Don't have a windows computer. Can I do install the ota file with a Chromebook?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
If you can adb to work on it it should work
[Nexus 5 General] perusmuro:
What these means?

I tried Google it but didn't find anything which makes sense.
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Don't worry about it. Those just wasn't included in the Factory Image. They are verification files Google use but were left out. Don't worry about it. You are good :)
[Nexus 5 General] perusmuro:
Good.
[Nexus 5 General] Hwaiting:
I was always on stock recovery. I rebooted into a custom recovery and tried to do the update through there which always worked for me prior (Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7-2012) but it didn't work this time. So I did the ADB sideload of the update file and then updated it through the stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] ddrum2000:
So I am getting an error that the install expects that my device should have 4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136 or 5.0/LRX21O/1570415 release keys but my device has 4.4/KRT16M/893803 release keys. However when looking at device status my device says the following:

I tried sideloading the OTA via adb last night. Got it to finally work, but took forever for it to detect the device. I had installed the drivers already and can find/recognize the phone when it's on, but when i got it into recovery, it wasnt able to detect the device. It was late at night, so i just kept trying to install the drivers as many times as i can. Anybody know/ can explain why it doesnt recognize it when i try to adb sideload?
[Nexus 5 General] baiju2012:

[Nexus 5 General] nimrodo:
audio_policy.conf has unexpected contents

Hi,

I am trying to flash the OTA zip but I keep getting the audio_policy.conf message. I tried the fixing script, but it did not help.

The only way will be to revert to stock and then restore from Titanium backup?

[Nexus 5 General] baiju2012:
Found it. Once, the Driver is installed , while phone is booted with Kitkat, the driver remains on the Windows Computer. Once in Recovery, you re-install the driver with ADB Composite Interface. And it works. :)

[Nexus 5 General] bronko_1993:
Hi guys, a newbie here. I want to do a manual OTA with my Nexus 5 to Lollipop. I have some questions:

1. I am rooted but still using the stock ROM (4.4.4). I used to try xposed framework but I uninstalled it few weeks ago. I read the front page and am confused, should I fall in section B which I can install it immediately or should I fall in section C where I need to uninstall the xposed framework?

2. Will manual OTA wipe out all my datas from my phone?

Thank you in advance!
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
1. If you have uninstalled Xposed, then you can move to jump to Section A with stock recovery or Section B if you have custom recovery installed.

2. No, if you flash the OTA file only.
[Nexus 5 General] bronko_1993:
Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately I do not know whether I have stock or custom recovery installed. Any idea on how to check that? As far as I know I only unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone.

Edit: I went to bootloader mode and it shows teamwin recovery project, so I assume it is custom? What should I do from there?
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Unless you have flashed custom recovery, you should be in stock only. :)
[Nexus 5 General] tech7:
Can you able to install the ota zip with stock recovery
[Nexus 5 General] det0xx:

[Nexus 5 General] :
Probably scenario 2 in the Opening post. ?

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

You can't use adb in recovery mode. There is an adb sideload feature in some recoveries, but for file transfer only I believe.

Perhaps if we knew what you're trying to do, we could help?
[Nexus 5 General] det0xx:
i was trying to sideload the OTA.zip, to update my nexus 5 via recovery mode. Im stock not rooted nor anything modded.

When i try to sideload the ota file it fails . says "error: device not found"
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Did you go to recovery and try to side load it there. Bootloader is for factory images not OTAs :)
[Nexus 5 General] det0xx:

[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
I tried a clean install on another phone. The first booting is taking too much of time. Its been like 10 mins. :confused:

[Nexus 5 General] tech7:
I wish my nexus 5 would hit the ota already I really want to do it manually to download the ota zip file and flash with stock recovery but don't know if that works
[Nexus 5 General] bronko_1993:
Oops, I meant I went to recovery and try to install the OTA file there by clicking the "install" button and navigate through the zip. I failed by getting message something like no MD5 file found. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
OK a few things. Sounds like you are using TWRP. You need to be on stock recovery. Also this is isn't flashable. You must sideload it using a PC with ADB tools.

So I just updated by scenario 1, my first time using adb and all is running great. Thanks everyone... I did have driver issues for quite a while with the phone not being detected after in recovery. I solved it by installing a universal adb driver from koush...just google it...it worked great.
[Nexus 5 General] Blackbox421:

[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
You should be able to use ADB in all recoveries.

Yes, that's fine. I think mine took 10-15 mins.

Reinstall the usb drivers and/or enable usb debugging.

[Nexus 5 General] ConorCX:
No it will not delete everything on your phone. It just locks your bootloader. If you wanted to unlock the bootloader again afterwards though, that would wipe the phone again.

Try to re-download the OTA zip file.
[Nexus 5 General] alen1901:
I know this is not a place to ask this but i didnt find any lollipop discussion thread in general forums, all closed..

So if you let your phones screen to time out, it first gets dimmer, than new fading animation kick in and screen turns off. Now, my question is if you noticed that when animation kicks in when screen is dimmed it will turn brightness up so it would seem like your screen flashed. So annoying when you see that even on peripheral vision. Is this reported to google? On stock lollipop image.

First, don't quote the op. Second, try flashing in fastboot system, boot, recovery, and cache from 4.4.4. Then retry the ota
[Nexus 5 General] RusherDude:
Hey guys, I have a small question with this (trying to apply 5.0 OTA).

Apparently, all the CWM versions I'm finding for Nexus 5 (including official ones) aren't able to get the real fingerprint values (when they do getprop ro.build.fingerint), and so fail with assert status 7 when appliying an OTA just because the recovery for some reason returns a fake build fingerprint (4.4 / 4.4.3 / etc), when the real fingeprint on the system build.prop file is the correct 4.4.4 one.

Searched a little and I find out that people recommends to either boot/flash the stock recovery, TWRP, or to manual edit the update-script and delete the asserts,etc.. it is really necessary? I mean, it is CWM so dead that there's no solution for it other than those?

Thanks for your time.
[Nexus 5 General] Kozero:
It seems even those using TWRP are having similar problems. I'd either hold off for the time being while proper work arounds are discovered, or just flash the factory image - which is a very simple process and won't wipe your data simply by removing the "-w" in the last line. I'm sure there are other solutions in this thread as well.
[Nexus 5 General] gialakias:
It fails even with the latest twrp. It needs the stock recovery. So this time ota needs a computer if you want to flash it manually ?
[Nexus 5 General] RusherDude:
Yeah, just saw some TWRP guys reporting the same problem.

The fun part is that this is a bug that I saw loong ago coming.. I don't why recoveries can't STILL access android kitkat kernel properties, but they work ok reading the file, so the OTA 4.4.4 worked fine, that tries:

file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.3/KTU84M/1158763:user/release-keys" ||

file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys" ||

abort("Package expects build fingerprint of google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.3/KTU84M/1158763:user/release-keys or google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys; this device has " + getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") + ".");

Which works OK, tho if you notice the error case, the description would fail because it uses getprop...

NOW on 5.0 they use the same getprop for both cases, and fail:

getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys" ||

getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/hammerhead/hammerhead:5.0/LRX21O/1570415:user/release-keys" ||

abort("Package expects build fingerprint of google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys or google/hammerhead/hammerhead:5.0/LRX21O/1570415:user/release-keys; this device has " + getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") + ".");

So modifying the update scripts its a simple solutions (tho It changes the file signature and so, and it's official OTA so no way..).

I don't like flashing factory images, considering the own bootloader images for Nexus 7 2012 are broken :good: : I preffer OTA crypto-checking and modifying the bootloaders..

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
I'm on the factory image. I don't have this issue. I suggest you ask in the Dedicated Help Thread in the N5 Q&A section.
[Nexus 5 General] Terminator19:
Just to check a couple of things here (I am a noob with this stuff :p).

I am on a completely stock nexus 5 (4.4.4/KTU84P) and haven't got the OTA yet so going to do section a-sideload.

1. Will I receive OTA's automatically in the future? i.e. no need to flash/sideload them as well?

2. Will I lose anything on my phone?

3. I don't need to unlock the boot loader or anything like that? I only have to do the 6 steps as mentioned in section a?

TIA
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
1. You will receive otas in the future

2. You will not lose anything

3. You don't need an unlocked bootloader

You're good to go as you are. Just adb side load it when you're booted into recovery

Edit, Google 15 second adb install xda if you don't have adb installed yet

Encryption issues in lollipop

there seems to be some bug in lollipop with regards to setting up exchange accounts which require device to be encrypted.. See link below:-

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79342

Does anyone have any idea? I believe any user who is using the device for work mails should avoid updating it to lollipop...
[Nexus 5 General] gialakias:
Of course you can. The new ota doesn't support custom recoveries. So you have to download the 4.4.4 factory image and extract the stock recovery from there. Flash it in bootloader with the command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then go into recovery press power and vol+ instantly and select apply update with adb and adb sideload the ota. You should be ok. Then you can flash the twrp recovery which is the most up to date and do whatever you want after. When you sideload the command will flood the terminal window. Don't interrupt it, after sometime you phone will start the update. Good luck.

Hi All,

I am currently rooted, stock (Xposed installed) 4.4.2 KOT49H, running CWM. I understand that I have to "uninstall" Xposed through the app before flashing the OTA.

However, at the moment, I am puzzled at whether do I need to go from KOT49H -> KTU84M then from KTU84M to KTU84P/Q

or from KOT49H -> KTU84P/Q as I don't seem to be able to find the latter OTA file (unless I am cockeyed).

Also, is there any fundamental difference between KTU84P and KTU84Q besides the radio fix for those specific regions?
